GEORGE ROBERT HoAGLAND, 0F E'ASTON, PENNSYLV NIA} NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE R. HOAGLAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Easton, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a neW and useful Non-Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a non-refillable bottle, and the invention aims, primarily, to improve theconstruction of the cage which is located in the neck of the receptacle above the valve therein.

It is one object of the invention to provide novel means for supporting in the cage, a baflie which is located below an opening in the top of the cage.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains. V

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without de- 7 parting from the spirit of the invention. 7

In the accompanying drawing :-Figure 1 shows in fragmental longitudinal section, a bottle wherewith the device forming the subject matter of this application has been assembled; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the cage detached from the bottle; Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 33 of Fig. 2, Fig.

1 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

In carrying out the present invention there is provided a receptacle 1, the neck of which is denoted by the reference character 2. At the point where the neck 2 merges into the body portion of the receptacle, a

tapered seat 3 is formed. Cooperating with the seat 3 is a frusto-conical valve 4. Intermediate its ends, the neck 2 of the receptacle 1 is equipped with an internal, circumscribing groove 5.

Located within the neck 2 of the receptacle 1 is a cage which preferably is fashioned from metal throughout, the cage comprising a top 6 having an opening 7 and resilient arms 8 depending from the top. Intermediate their ends, the arms 8 are bent outwardly to form loop-shaped projections .9 adapted Specification of Letters Patent.

cage from moving longitudinally of the neck 2 ofthe receptacle. The-inner ends of the arms 8 are bent toward the axis of the receptacle to form slidably overlapped feet 10. These feet, when the cage is mounted in the receptacle as shown in Fig. 1, constitute a .stop for the valve 4v as will be evident from Fig. 1. The arms 8 arecut away on both edges as shown at 11, the material thus freed being turned'toward the axis of the receptacle .to form projections 12. The notches 11 cooperate'to form in each arm, a reduced neck 15. The invention comprises a baffle 16' in the form 'of a plate having notches 17 in its edge. Qert ain of the notches .17 receive the reduced necks 15 of the arms- 8, the baffle16 lying beneaththe' When the receptacle 1 is in an upright po- I sition as shown in Fig. 1, the valve 4 is lodged inv the seat 3 and liquid cannot be poured into the receptacle.

When the receptacle is in an inclined position, the valve 4 slides out of the seat and abuts against the feet 10 of the cage. 'Then the contents of the receptacle 1 flowthrough the notches 17 in the baffle 16. and passes outwardly through the opening 7 in the top 6 of the cage. Owing to the presence of the baffle 16, access cannot be had to the valve 4 through the opening 7.

In assembling the cage with the receptacle, the baffle 16 is mounted in place between the arms 8 and the projections 12 are bent in to hold the baflle. Then,the cage is pushed into the neck 2 of the receptacle 1,

engaged in the groove 5. Thus the cage isassembled with the neck 2 of the receptacle.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In a device of the class described, a receptacle having a seat and provided with a circumferential groove; a valve cooperating with theseat; a cagecomprising a top having an opening, and arms depending from the top, the inner ends of the arms being extended toward the axis of the receptacle to form slidably overlapped feet, the arms intermediate theirends being outwardly extended to form projections engaged in the groove; a baflie Within the contour of the arms and below the opening, the battle-being provided With notches, and the arms being cut away to define reduced necks fitting in the notches, the material freed by the cutting away of the arms being inturned to form bafiie holding projections.

2. In a device of the class described, a receptacle; a cage in the receptacle, the cage comprising resilient arms, the arms and the receptacle being provided with interengaging elements preventing a movement of the cage longitudinally of the receptacle; a bafiie within the contour of the arms and provided with notches, the arms being cut away to define reduced necks fitting in the notches, the material freed by the cutting away of the arms being inturned to form baflie holding projections; and a valve op erating in the receptacle below the cage.

3. In a device of the class described, a receptacle; a cage in the receptacle, the cage comprising resilient arms, the arms and the Copies of this patent may be obtained for receptacle being provided with interengaging elements preventing a movement of the cage longitudinally of the receptacle; a bafile within the contour of the arms and provided with notches, the arms being cut away to define reduced necksfit'ting in the notches; and a valve operating in the receptacle below the cage.

l. In a device of the class described, a cage comprising a top having an opening, and resilient arms depending from the top; a receptacle receiving the cage, the receptacle and the arms having interengaging elements which coact to prevent the cage from moving endwise in the receptacle; and a removable battle held by and between the arms, and independent of the top, the baffle engaging the arms intermediate their ends to act as'a fulcrum for the arms, thereby to stiffen the arms.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.

GEORGE ROBERT HOAGLAND.
